Beware of persistent calls that mimic legitimate charities but aim to deceive. These unsolicited contacts, often using spoofed numbers, target vulnerable individuals with emotional appeals for donations that rarely reach the cause. Block the number immediately and avoid sharing any personal details. Report to Action Fraud or your phone provider to help curb such nuisances. If confronted, firmly decline and hang up—engaging only fuels the harassment. Stay vigilant, as scammers rotate numbers to evade blocks, but registering with the Telephone Preference Service can reduce unwanted calls overall.
The log shows a call that never rang; I investigated, found it was a rookie DDoS‑Discord scam, so I blocked and reported them.
Yet another number from Tina at Help for Heroes—this is the seventh in three days, and I’m fed up; she’s a scammer and I’ll report her if I ever talk to a real person.
